This patch set provides ACPI support to DPAA2 network drivers.

It also introduces new fwnode based APIs to support phylink and phy
layers
    Following functions are defined:
      phylink_fwnode_phy_connect()
      fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy()
      fwnode_get_phy_id()
      fwnode_phy_find_device()
      device_phy_find_device()
      fwnode_get_phy_node()
      fwnode_mdio_find_device()
      acpi_get_local_address()

    First one helps in connecting phy to phylink instance.
    Next three helps in getting phy_id and registering phy to mdiobus
    Next two help in finding a phy on a mdiobus.
    Next one helps in getting phy_node from a fwnode.
    Last one is used to get local address from _ADR object.

    Corresponding OF functions are refactored.

In general it looks fine to me. What really worries me is the calls like

of_foo -> fwnode_bar -> of_baz.

As I have commented in one patch the idea of fwnode APIs is to have a
common ground for all resource providers. So, at the end it shouldn't
be a chain of calls like above mentioned. Either fix the name (so, the
first one will be in fwnode or device namespace) or fix the API that
it will be fwnode/device API.
